Lowering the low-energy threshold of xenon detectors
P. Sorensen, J. Angle, E. Aprile +34
We show that the energy threshold for nuclear recoils in the XENON10 dark matter search data can be lowered to ~1 keV, by using only the ionization signal. In other words, we make…
Design and Performance of the XENON10 Dark Matter Experiment
E. Aprile, J. Angle, F. Arneodo +36
XENON10 is the first two-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) developed within the XENON dark matter search program. The TPC, with an active liquid xenon (LXe) mass of about 1…
3D Position Sensitive XeTPC for Dark Matter Search
J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +30
The technique to realize 3D position sensitivity in a two-phase xenon time projection chamber (XeTPC) for dark matter search is described. Results from a prototype detector (XENON3…
Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross-sections from the XENON10 experiment
J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +34
XENON10 is an experiment to directly detect weakly interacting massive particle (WIMPs), which may comprise the bulk of the non-baryonic dark matter in our Universe. We report new…
Constraints on inelastic dark matter from XENON10
J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +34
It has been suggested that dark matter particles which scatter inelastically from detector target nuclei could explain the apparent incompatibility of the DAMA modulation signal (i…
First Results from the XENON10 Dark Matter Experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory
J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +34
The XENON10 experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory uses a 15 kg xenon dual phase time projection chamber (XeTPC) to search for dark matter weakly interacting massive part…
